About This Book

The narrator recounts a dreamlike fable in which a mystical elder named Jorsen guides him away from despair and relates a vision of a small hare undertaking a symbolic journey along a Great White Road toward vast Gates. Interwoven episodes of hunting, a debate between the hare and a red-faced man, and images of pursuit and peril convey themes of spiritual authority, reincarnation, and the tension between skepticism and faith in occult wisdom. The framing narrator describes rescue from imminent suicide, Jorsen’s claims of long past connections across incarnations, and a closing injunction that leaves moral judgment open to the reader.
